Namaste Sudhanshu ji
vyApti-jnAna-tva-avachchhinna-vyApti-jnAna
is not clear. What does it mean in simpler elaborate language?

Also, X-avacchinna-Y implies there are also Z-avacchinna-Y and
W-avacchinna-Y

Here what are the avacchedakas possible?

For example, would a word/idea like "
ghaTa-jnAnatva-avacchinna-ghaTa-jnAnaM " make semantic sense?
